Cover image for "Half" — the story of
"Half" — the story of a man who wakes up on a perfect morning, until his bedroom starts decaying around him and he turns into a half-zombie, attacking his wife and getting slashed across the cheek in the struggle. The moment he snaps awake, the exact same wound is bleeding on his face — the dream wasn't a dream at all. Every shot was generated on Renoise Canvas with Seedance 2.0, built off custom character and environment reference sheets to keep the world consistent from the first frame to the last. https://www.loom.com/share/fa801cb11cb34e9b90f969793d624268

Project Title: Sindhar — Concept Teaser & Cinematic World-Building Project Overview Sindhar is an episodic mythic sci-fi visual project that seamlessly blends ancient Indian mysticism with a grounded, industrial aesthetic. Set against a rugged, desert landscape, the narrative follows two young village inventors, Aman and Kabir, as they decode forgotten antiquities to awaken a long-buried truth. This proof-of-concept teaser establishes the cinematic tone, scale, and visual identity of the series.

Cover image for CBG Studio — a complete
CBG Studio — a complete AI filmmaking production suite, built for solo creators. As a solo AI filmmaker working on my own cinematic universe, I was juggling six different tools for every single shot — scripts in one place, characters in another, prompts scattered everywhere, continuity rules nowhere consistent. So I designed and built CBG Studio inside Figma — ten connected modules covering everything from script writing and character development to world-building, AI-powered prompt generation, and a continuity bible that locks every costume and lighting detail across an entire production. Designed in Figma. Built with Figma Make. Powered by Claude API for live AI assistance throughout the creative process. This isn't just my workflow anymore — it's the tool every solo creator needs to build their own world, alone but never limited.

Project Title: Sci-Fi Hard-Surface Prop Design — AXIS OF SOUL Description: Comprehensive production turnaround sheets for a hero prop drone from the episodic project AXIS OF SOUL. Designed with a grounded, mythic sci-fi aesthetic, this asset emphasizes high-fidelity mechanical realism, featuring patched metal sheets, rusted textures, and functional industrial joints. Key Elements Displayed: Turnaround Angles: Detailed 3/4 perspective, side, top, and bottom views for 3D modeling and VFX asset reference. Texture Profile: Industrial, heavily distressed metallic surface with realistic welding details and mechanical integration. A perfect blueprint for integrating high-end hard-surface props into cinematic visual narratives.
